A foodie and a winemaker team up to share our conversations and what we love .

Nowadays with fitness being mainstream people want to know what's going into their body and will it add extra pounds or will they have to sacrifice something later. I like a variety of mixed drinks. But for the modern spring and summer girl, a refreshing semi-sweet sangria may be the drink for you and is a perfect go-to for any occasion.

So onward to one of the most knowledge-based liquor store in Kentucky, Liquor Barn. While I was there, the manager educated me on most alcohol purchased is based on the area, income, and a cultural or an inherited taste.

Admittedly it’s nice to see the city flourishing around this time of year. In a small way, It does make me proud…Amongst the deadlock in west Louisville, Derby is THRIVING elsewhere in the city. The completion of the buildup of most of downtown Louisville has been completed, The Yum, the Convention Center, The Omni hotel, a SLEW of new restaurants, other hotels, bars, etc. And in the east ends of Louisville are the same build-ups, just on a smaller scale.

It was honestly one of the best brunches in the city I have ever had. From the atmosphere to the service, and most importantly the food. I will be returning this spring or summer to try and to review dinner and will probably make it a night out so I can partake in some of those bar drinks.

Jan 25 5 Simple Tips Towards Beautiful Glowing Skin

We all hate those days when we don't have glowing skin. We begin to amp up our makeup routine by adding moisturizers to our skin, extra concealer, foundation, and a few extra dabs here and there in areas we feel could use it. Our next step is powder, a bronzer and if we are filling really frisky a finishing spray. Yes! You are looking H-O-T!!!! We think we have eradicated the problem and our skin is calling 911 for an emergency oxygen mask.

Ladies, this is not good if you want to have healthy skin. In order to have glowing skin, we have to work from the inside to the outside to have a basking glow. I love Cosmetic skin care centers they have all the best products and skin care suggestions you can't purchase in a department store or read about in a magazine. If they don't have it or can't treat your lovely skin they are definitely honest and will tell you to see a dermatologist. My favorite treatments are skin peels and microdermabrasion. Typically I get both treatments at my appointment twice a year. I have an appointment after the winter weather has to beat my skin to death and during the summer to quickly rid my skin of toxins and dead skin the summer weather was so kind to gift me. I feel it is a good investment considering, women may spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars yearly purchasing different beauty products from a department store which may or may not work.

“Skin Peel and Microderm”

I've been going to cosmectic skin care centers for years and here are a few helpful tips they have shared to rid me of the dull skin days till my next visit.

1. H20. Water is one of the best product for your skin in more ways than one. It rids your body of toxins which eventual surface in your appearance and your body needs proper hydration to function and take care of your skin. Also, if you are cleansing your skin twice a day you need water to keep your skin clean.

2.A non-chemical exfoliant to remove dead skin and keep wrinkles at a distance until your body says its time for fine lines. In one year the human body sheds about 8 pounds of dead skin and some of that dead skin comes from our face. We can help the process by using a dry exfoliate daily but it also depends on the sensitivity of one's skin. A dry exfoliation helps remove dead skin which may cause your skin to have a dull appearance. You can purchase a non-chemical exfoliant like a scrub, facial wash, exfoliating glove, brush or pad. I prefer the pad, it is a miracle worker on bad skin days.

4. Burts Bees Facial Cleansing Oil. If we have a break out we try every product on the market to remove oil and dirt from our skin which is actually our natural oil and our skin begins to overcompensate and produce more oil and we eventually lose a healthy balance and dry out our skin which also leads to breakouts.

5. EltaMD Foaming Facial Cleanser is a gentle enzyme and amino acid blend that loosens makeup, oil, and other impurities on the skin and in the pores. It's recommended to lather your face with this cleanser for 60 seconds to see real results. I love this product. I have had to do the wash and go, the feeling and results are truly different verses washing my face for 60 seconds.

The most important factor in any beauty routine is everyone's skin is different so be sure to know your skin before emptying your wallet to look beautiful.
